Episode 249 - Clerks

Best Film Ever

(Deep Dive begins at 49:30)

Unlike Dante, we are supposed to be here today. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and eventually Megs in the third part of an ex-boyfriend trilogy in the Kevin Smith ode to New Jersey slackerdom in Clerks. We're bringing you a lasagne in our 249th episode as we discuss:

• Whether Kevin Smith is a manchild
• The crazy alternate ending this film ended up cutting
• Why does Randal have all the good lines?
• Which acts are more intimate than others?
• Megs shares a bit about her ex-boyfriend trilogy of films
• We share some horror stories about working in various jobs
• We propose that this film may have had an impact on another film reviewed by the BFE
• Liam's ego is out of control as we discuss Fantasy Football
• He's also incorrigible as soon as Megs shows up
• Whether or not Clerks is the Best Film Ever
